Medical Waste Pros San Francisco—Regulated Medical Waste Disposal

San Francisco Regulated Medical Waste Disposal

Our San Francisco partners dispose of regulated medical waste for hospitals, dentists, veterinarians, tattoo parlors and more. Regulated waste is a blanket term that covers a wide range of items, and these items require special treatment. Here are some common regulated waste items that every business should be certain to dispose of properly:

Blood spill clean-up materials

Items saturated with blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM)

Regulated waste laws are enforced at the state and local levels, so check in with local authorities for the most accurate disposal rules. OSHA has also created guidelines for handling blood borne pathogens that should be followed in every workplace to decrease accidents through increased awareness.

There are six different categories of regulated waste to be aware of:

Contaminated Sharps – Sharps include anything that can prick the skin and induce subdermal inoculation of infectious agents. There are specific containers designed to mitigate the risks associated with contaminated sharps.

Cultures and Stocks of Infectious Agents – Microbiological waste or waste generated during clinical or research laboratory procedures that involved communicable infectious agents.

Isolation Wastes – Waste that has possibly been contaminated with a highly communicable disease, usually originating from a human or animal who has been isolated to prevent the spread of their disease.

Human Blood and Blood Products – Blood including blood byproducts such as plasma and serum, plus any bodily fluids that are contaminated with blood or fluids where it’s difficult to determine if it is contaminated with blood.

Contaminated Animal Carcasses, Bedding, and Body Parts – Waste from animals that have been intentionally exposed to pathogens during research, in vivo pharmaceuticals testing, or biologicals production.
